Many people believe that their astrological horoscopes, Chinese zodiacs, and even the Myers Briggs test can categorize and determine who you are. Millions of people read and somewhat believe their daily horoscope or even what their future may entail just by what year or month they are born in. However, in Korean culture blood type is believed to be the ultimate personality test. Each blood type (disregarding the + and -) says something about a person. It is a silly idea but in Korean culture it is not taken lightly. The media even use this to their advantage filming movies, creating cartoons, and Korean dramas based on this ideology. So which blood types hold what kind of personality?
Let’s start with blood type A. The A blood type is known as the most sensitive and small minded blood type. They are best known for being kind to others, compassionate, and perfectionists. Most people with this blood type are perceived to be introverts. Next is B. B blood types are considered more outgoing and extroverts. They are creative and passionate however, they are seen as "lone wolves" for always doing what they want to do. They are deemed lazy, irresponsible, and selfish. In Korean culture, B blood type males are most notoriously known for being "womanizers" or "players". Then we have blood type O. Blood type O are known to be confident and expressive. They are known to be the easiest to befriend and get along with. However, they are also deemed egotistical, big risk takers, and air headed. Lastly, we have the blood type AB. Blood type AB is the most controversial blood type in Korean culture and can be summed up in one sentence. "Either you are a psychopath or genius". In Korean culture AB blood types are seen as always being rational and calm in any situation but also critical and indecisive.
So what blood type are you? Just like horoscopes and zodiacs take this information with a grain of salt. Unless you're really into these kinds of things.
